SDTV Ingest Server

The OpenCubeSD Video Server is the most effectivegateway between a VTR park and the new IT-based production environment.OpenCube SD provides the perfect answer to Archive migration needs andproduction using MXF camcorders. OpenCubeSD is the first link tosetting up powerful and seamless workflows.

Mastering MXF in the videoenvironment

OpenCubeSD allows users to drive a VTR, capture audioand video streams in real-time, encode media in IMX and DV format, addmetadata and create MXF files that are fully compatible with SMTPEstandards and interoperable with production equipment. All these tasksare combined in a single streamlined process.

Emulate an MXF VTR

OpenCubeSD is able to emulate a VTR when MXF files areplayed back natively.Based on an open architecture, OpenCubeSD Serverplays back MXF files in both IMX and DV formats and sends the videostream through the SDI in the same way a VTR does. Systems can bedriven in Play/Pause, Jog, Shuttle, Rewind or FF.
